  • "Location Unknown / Unclear." - the location is the Ivy House, North End Road, Golders Green, London.

    The clip's current date range of 1940-49 is inaccurate, Pavlova having died in 1931. A new date range of 1920-31 would clearly be more appropriate.

    "Pavlova sitting in her garden with elderly man" - the man looks likely, (though not certain) to be Victor Dandre, Pavlova's manager and companion.

Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.

British Pathe captured many extraordinary events on film over its 80 year history but sometimes the cameras were switched on when tragedy struck.
